Hanna (2011)


MUST WATCH This is pretty damn perfect in my view, i love it when an action film can be beautifully filmed, have some heart and not hold back with fight sequences. It could be very difficult to believe the story of a sixteen year old assassin but Saoirse Ronan is such a colossal talent that at no point do you doubt her. Using a variety of stunning settings, wonderful actors and beautifully choreographed assaults this is a visual joy. Apparently quite a few people feel the plot is too ropey i was surprised by this as i can be a bit of a pedant but had no issue here i was enthralled from the get go. Maybe all i need is a great soundtrack, excellent technical direction, action sequences that wow and first-rate performances to enjoy an action film that isn't your usual American bollocks.


Like This Watch These: Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015) Another exemplary performance from Miss Ronan as a kidnap victim with some memorable scenes, Atonement (2007) Same director and star and gorgeous visuals, Drive (2011) A very stylised sumptuous crime flick.
